Please ensure your child leaves their smartwatch at home. We have ongoing concerns about students recording peers and making phone calls during the school day. Smartwatches are not permitted for use at school and must remain at home or be stored securely in backpacks for the entire school day. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and respectful learning environment.

Winter Walk Day may be over, but there's still plenty of time to walk or wheel to school this winter.
Walking and wheeling to school is good for the environment, supports children’s health, and helps them connect with their neighbourhood. This February, ask your kids what they enjoy most about their school journey! #WinterWalk&Wheel Month.
